Two tools, or one?

HoneyBook + Pixieset vs lemon.gallery

A very common stack: HoneyBook for the CRM, Pixieset for the galleries. That's two logins and two bills for one workflow. Here's the one-tool version.

One login and one bill instead of two

Plenty of photographers run HoneyBook for client management and Pixieset for galleries and sales. It works, but it is two subscriptions, two logins, and client data living in two places that do not talk to each other. An all-in-one covers the CRM and the galleries together, so the same client's contract, booking, gallery and invoice sit under one record.

The verdict

Should you consolidate?

If HoneyBook and Pixieset both do exactly what you need and you are happy paying two bills, there is no urgency to move. If you would rather have the CRM and the galleries in one login, with client data joined up and no commission on sales, one platform does both for less. lemon.gallery is free to start.

Frequently asked questions

Can one tool replace HoneyBook and Pixieset?

Yes. An all-in-one that covers CRM, contracts and invoicing plus client galleries and print sales replaces both. lemon.gallery does this in one login, free to start.

Why do photographers use HoneyBook and Pixieset together?

HoneyBook handles the client management side and Pixieset handles galleries and sales, and neither fully covers the other. Combining them means two subscriptions for one workflow.

Is one platform cheaper than both?

Usually. Two subscriptions, plus any Pixieset sales commission, tend to cost more than a single all-in-one plan. lemon.gallery is free to start and £9/mo for the paid tier.

Will my data stay joined up?

Yes. In one platform, a client's contract, booking, gallery and invoice all attach to the same record, instead of living separately in two tools.
